i havenโt really posted on here in a long time and im not getting rid of this twitter but i am a lot more active on my tumblr which is also @ dozingpeach :>
hollow knight not having an easy mode makes it innaccessible and thats a shitty choice for the devs to make, idc if its Supposed To Be Hard let a player decide how to experience a game
@coaIsack absolutely agree, like this very clear statement in the writing that this trans person isnt a real woman (bc theyre still Sneaking into gerudo, thats the phrasing) and Gotcha! Look! they have a man's face! a fake! i made a very ick face the first time i played that part
@coaIsack yeah i agree, like i think its fine that queers en mass have chosen to love them bc its a beloved franchise and Sorely lacks other representation,,, but its shitty representation and nintndo should do better
for the first time in eighty years im streaming and it is sun haven, a new stardew-like cozy game :>> come keep me company!!

sidenote, reading this a day later is wild bc wow you can tell it was the middle of the night ndjfjf i stand by my theory tho, this weird cultural viewpoint we have where people dont get the chance to learn in a non-stressful environment doesnt need to be in games too cmon
i just realized that the reason most skill based games aggravate isnt because i dont like the challenge but because they subscribe to a "trial by fire" mentality, you dont get time to learn and make mistakes and practice, you just get punished for not being immediately good
like okay???? its really obvious how much a lot of our cultures right now uphold like, the concept of genius and appearances with this degree of inaccessibility being portrayed as a selling point. like ok i play games??? for fun????? not to feel like a failure????
JUST SAYING they Literally had to do research on how big lara crofts fucking boobs could be before the audience stopped seeing her as a Person bc the gaming sphere is so fucKING SEXIST
but youre right, its just a coincidence and im just being oversensitive and grasping at straws
gamer men say animal crossing and stardew valley and stuff arent real games because women are better at those games and their egos are delicate little grapes
just saying, satisfactory is just as difficult as factorio but the userbase tends to be more focused on aesthetics than the burn rate of bug hoards and suddenly its "a weaker more boring game" like theres a TREND with opinions like those being paired against femininity
